Audience Research - Questionnaire

Now that I have researched the codes and conventions of CD covers and I know the dimensions that I have to work to, I now have to research to see what kind of CD covers my audience like. I shall do this by writing a questionnaire.

CD Cover Dimensions

I have now reasearch the codes and conventions for CD covers, therefore I can now start to create my CD cover. Firstly, I need to know the dimensions of the different covers which I need to create. Below are some examples which give me an idea of the dimensions that I need to follow.

Reasearch into Similar Media Texts - CD Spines

Now that I have researched the front, back and insides of CD's, I now know the codes and conventions of these areas. I now have to research the codes and conventions of the spines of CD's.

Reasearch into Similar Media Texts - CD Insides

Now that I know the codes and conventions of the Cd Front and Back covers, I now need to research and find the codes and conventions of the inside covers of the CD.

Research into Similar Media Texts - CD Back Covers

Now that I have researched and have found the codes and conventions of CD front covers, I now need to research into the codes and conventions of CD back covers. To do this I will need to look at similar media texts to find these conventions.

The first back cover I shall  look at shall be the back of Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. The back of this album is rather plain which just a solid coloured background. The title of the artist and album are clearly shown, with the tracks within the album listed below, numbered in the order which they arrive in the album. Along with each track name, the length of the song is also listed alongside the track. Also in small print at the bottom, the production company name along with the distributors.

The next back cover that I shall research is The Beatles' Abbey Road. On this back cover, the artist's name and the album title are shown. The background used relates to the front cover that I researched previously, being the location of Abbey Road. The background shows the actual street name, with a person walking by, which would happen in real life.
